This randomized wait-list controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of School-Based Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) for adolescents experiencing academic and behavioral problems. Eligible students will be randomly assigned to either an immediate intervention group or a wait-list control group. Outcomes related to academic functioning and behavioral problems will be assessed at baseline and post-intervention to determine the effectiveness of SFBT in improving student outcomes.
